What's the best way to remove the side strips from the doors and front wing? Just carefully peel them off, heat them up?... any suggestions?

Mine are very good so don't want to break them if possible!!!

 

are you painting the wings

 

get hold of a cheese wire (a spatula/fish slice works well) will not damage the paint or the trim

then get a toffee wheel to remove the trim tape from the paint

 

And then hope that you have not got screwholes behind as some models (non-Cossie) had moulding that were screwed on and the doors are not Cossie-specific.

 

Yeah... getting the whole lot ready for paint, they'll be going back on afterwards... i'm not too sure about the de-moulded look!

 

The trade also use a glue remover that doesn't harm the paint - just softens the glue. Made taking mine off a pice of cake... used the wire method.

 

I used a length of mig wire, worked a treat

 

i used fishing wire to remove from the car,then soakedthe tape in autoglym tar remover and left it for 5 min,then it literally peels back in one go came off nice and straight and then sold them to DAN off of here.he was well happy with them.

 

All the different wires and i haven't got one of them!!!

I think i'll grab myself some cheese wire and give it a go...

 

Sorted... used a length of single earth core out of some 2.5mm mains cable I had lying around...

Just gotta remove the gluey stuff now and the shell's pretty much ready for paint!!!

Cheers for all the suggestions!!!
